Welcome to Canada. I know you have had a very busy time.
I am Yasmin Ratansi. I am from Toronto. The population of Toronto is approximately 5.6 million, and we only have 33 members from the GTA area, not the 250 you have with a population of 7.4 million.
We hope that in this meeting we can answer questions rather than tell you how this committee works, because we need to know what you face as a young Parliament and what the issues are that you think we can work together on.
I know that there are members of your Parliament from the gender, health, finance, and audit committees. My question is, how many women parliamentarians are there? What is the percentage?
For my last question, what are the main issues you face on which we, as a more mature Parliament, can probably work with you?
